Tuttullas

Tuttullas are a traditional sweet pastry originating from Sardinia, an island in Italy. These cookies are typically made with a dough that includes flour, sugar, eggs, and often a hint of lemon zest or anisette for flavor. The dough is shaped into various forms, commonly rings or twists, before being baked until golden brown. A characteristic feature of tuttullas is their often delicate and slightly crunchy texture. They are frequently prepared during festive occasions and holidays, but can also be enjoyed as a simple treat any time of year. Variations in recipes exist across different Sardinian regions, with some incorporating ingredients like honey or almonds. The name "tuttullas" itself is believed to derive from the Sardinian word for "little rolls" or "little twists," reflecting their typical shape. They are a popular item in Sardinian bakeries and are often sold alongside other traditional sweets.
